Work for us
Job listings and details about being part of our team
Here are our current job vacancies. Our dedicated team work closely together to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome over 1,000 animals every year – take this opportunity to be part of BCDH.
All roles come with set benefits (see Why work for us, below) as well as those in the job description.
Every cat and dog deserves a healthy life and a happy home. At Bath Cats and Dogs Home, everyone on the team works towards that mission.
If you’re a finance administrator with sound knowledge of Sage 50 and experience across purchase and income ledgers, you could help us make a real difference to animal welfare.
The pandemic pet boom, poor breeding practices and the rising cost of living mean that rehoming centres, like Bath Cats and Dogs Home, are contending with unprecedented numbers of animals with complex medical and behavioural problems.
We are rising to the challenge and have committed to strengthening the impact of our rehoming centre, and expanding our successful work in the community, providing advice and support to enable pets to stay in loving homes.
All of this depends on the charity having stable finances and well-run processes. As Finance Administrator, you will help ensure that Bath Cats and Dogs Home continues to positively transform the lives of pets and their owners for a long time to come.
In return, you’ll play a key role our small, but growing finance team, working with passionate and friendly colleagues across the charity, who are immersed in the world of animal welfare.
We commit to being kind, inspirational, dedicated, open and honest, and expert. If our values match your own, and you are inspired by the work that we do, then we’d love to hear from you.
